REVEALED: Sound advice stereo receiver options and cd player upgrades | Rare Historical Photos

Q. My Onkyo stereo receiver recently failed and is not repairable. Is the Marantz NR1200 stereo receiver a good replacement for my Onkyo? The Onkyo adequately powered my Bose 301 speakers for musical enjoyment from a CD player, and for TV sound from my Samsung Smart TV. The sound from the Bose speakers was satisfying in our 15-by-23 living room. My concern is whether Marantz is still a quality receiver. Is there a better alternative to the Marantz?

I will consider a quality receiver above the Marantz price point ($700) though I am not yet ready to break the bank for an outstanding sound system.
